Simon Rattle and Mitsuko Uchida
This juxtaposition of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 18 and Olivier Messiaen’s Oiseaux exotiques shows that grace and seriousness are not mutually exclusive, with both works demonstrating a light playfulness and profound substance in a performance by Mitsuko Uchida. To end with, conductor Simon Rattle presents a surprising “eccentric journey through Haydn”!
